The Octane Tour Announcement: A New Era After Hardstone Psycho
Following a massive 2025 European run with the Psycho Tour, Houston superstar Don Toliver has officially announced his return to North American arenas with the 2026 Octane Tour. Fresh off the release of his fifth studio album, OCTANE, Toliver is set to bring his high-energy, psychedelic trap-R&B sound to major venues across the continent, including two massive nights in the New York metropolitan area.
Produced by Live Nation, the 30-city trek marks a significant evolution in Toliver’s stage production, with themes inspired by rally racing and automotive culture—a fitting aesthetic for the Octane era.
